Some users of the e-commerce giant were unable to log into their accounts, receiving incorrect password alerts.

“This appears to be the result of technical issues that occurred during scheduled server maintenance. It is only impacting a portion of our users; most eBay users are unaffected.

The social media network also experienced a widespread outage Wednesday afternoon, but it was quickly restored.
